My sugar addiction has started to kick in again and I've been weak. I'm back to having 18% cream in my 3 coffees a day and *shock* I just noticed that the bastards added dextrose to the cream. Bugger.
Last week both of us were off and we decided to go see The Hunger Games. Fearing I would pig out on movie theatre nachos and cheese (my fave snack when there...no pop!), we went to the grocery store to get "healthy" snack to sneak into the theatre. These healthy snacks morphed into cookies and brownie squares. Fack. We snuck a bottle of water each in, hidden in my purse.
This week my skin feels like it's CRAWLING it's SO itchy. Last night I had to pee at 2:30am and while I was doing so I was ripping away at my legs and it felt soooo good and yet so gawd-awful at the same time. When I went back to bed the skin was all red and throbbing with heat. Ugh. This insane rash (which always seems to start in an arm pit for some reason) is making its way across my body and my taste buds better fuck off with the constant whining for sweet things!!
My mild rosacea has returned as well.
I've also noticed that there is a lot more mucous in my nasal passages, to the point where I have to snork it back so I don't sound like I'm sick with a cold. It's real pleasant to have to do this near co-workers while I'm on the phone with a client! (Thankfully I have a mute button, which has served me well and prevented my firing on a daily basis.)
So, today I will start the changes to reverse this once again. Coffee is bad when you have a yeast overgrowth problem, so I will reduce my intake (I hate caffeine withdrawal headaches!!!), will gradually revert back to using almond milk in coffee when I do have one, and will not partake in the very-sweet-looking cake we bought as dessert for tonight's dinner (his mummy's coming over). I will hear about it from her, but I will ignore it.
Guess I won't be having bacon with our usual Sunday breakfast, either. Grrr.
Oh wait, I do have something positive to report -- I weighed myself this morning, and after all this sugar-binging, the scale still reads 145.3. Yay!!

Dad: A breakthrough!!!
My dad's been sick with a cold. Since the end of December. Okay, maybe it's been two or more colds in succession, but you get the idea. I hate hearing him sound like shit and he's tired of being sick. Hell, he's tired of talking about being sick. It was my chance, so I took it!
I asked if he had a lot of mucous and he said hell yes - when he blows his nose his eye shoots some stuff out. Okay, that's odd, but anyway, the answer is yes. I offered a suggestion to try avoiding dairy for a few weeks, to see if it would help with the snot overload. He thought for a second, then said he didn't really have a lot of dairy...only with his morning cereal (Raisin Bran), but he could go without his cereal for awhile to try it.
BLAMMO!!!!!!! Two birds with one stone!!
Holy shit, this is the first time he's ever been willing to give up his morning dose of sawdust. The little crumbs get stuck in his throat all the time and make him cough - he's said this to me before, yet he continues eating the shit to get his fiber. Oi. The perils of being married to a (wonderful, lovely, funny) nutritionist.
Anyway, he said he'd try it!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Dairy
The only dairy I've consumed for three weeks has been butter, and I've recently noticed three things:
1. My sinuses are clearer than they've ever been; the only times I really need to clear them are first thing in the morning, after I sneeze, or after walking outside in the cold for a bit (wet, cold schnoz).
2. My mild rosacea has suddenly gotten a bit worse; this week I have small bumps and more redness on my cheeks. My face feels warm and flushed a lot of the time. It's NOT menopause! LOL
3. I'm getting my first pimple in a LONG time. :(
Prior to starting the YeastBusters program I didn't drink a lot of milk but I would have (higher-fat) yogourt and put cream in my coffee. I actually don't miss the yogourt (surprising, because I LOVED the really thick stuff!) and I'm fine having almond milk in coffee (unsweetened, chocolate flavoured variety preferred).
I wonder if I'll ever go back to using cream.
